Looking for any feedback on "Ready Rad" radiators for your vintage Mopar. Pretty much just a OEM type replacement. I'm not concerned about the numbers on the tank. I just want a radiator that looks mostly stock and will keep a mostly stock smallblock cool. The price is very attractive. I noticed Summit sells this brand radiator for about $200 more than you can get them for at Advance Auto.

I never used Ready Rad, but I used US Radiator out of Calif on my '68 Charger. It looks stock and keeps the motor cool. Didn't have to waller out anything either.

Not sure if what I have is a "Ready Rad" but it came from Advance, bolted right in, looks stock for a flat tank radiator, no stampings at all on the top tank. This one is in a car that was only run an eighth at a time, with no problems overheating unless I forgot to turn on the fan and/or waterpump .

Had one in my prior b-body too, street driven, and it stayed nice and cool using a Mopar clutch fan.
